5 star recommendation. She really helped me figure things out in a time of need by both guiding our conversations and allowing me to talk about what I feel like I needed to say at the time.

Lindsay has been incredibly helpful the past 5 months. She’s seen me through past traumas, dealing with adult children, and feeling at the end of my rope. Her EMDR training makes her especially valuable!

Lindsay has helped me to change my life. I have tried so many things to "get better" throughout my life and felt like I was getting no where. With each new EMDR session, I feel so much relief and like I can take back a little control of my spiraling thoughts. I know I have a long road of healing left but I have hope for success for the first time in my life.

Very happy to have found her. She makes me feel comfortable to open up.
